  • - The Partition of Africa, 1880-1914
    von H. L. Wesseling
    72,00 - 116,00 €

    This race for colonies went hand in hand with a host of thrilling exploits and dramatic conflicts, of which Stanley's exploration of the Congo and Gordon's death in Khartoum are just two examples. The partition of Africa was one of the most spectacular episodes in modern history.

    von H. L. Wesseling
    115,00 €

    Next to this there also was a new glorification of traditional military virtues: disinterestedness, submission, and discipline. In conceptualizing war, as Wesseling shows, a distinction can be made between speculations on war as a concrete phenomenon and as an abstract notion.

    von H. L. Wesseling

    Finally, there is a section on French history writing, including two biographical essays, one about Gabriel Hanotaux, the once famous but now nearly forgotten historian who became Minister of Foreign Affairs, and another on Fernand Braudel, the great contemporary French historian and close friend of Wesseling.
